What jealousies of Rome caused the Christian Protest? Slavery? Rape? Kidnapping? Robbery? Torture?
Bunch of Christbot malcontents.

Read my last post, I did not Chritsian bash- I said their cause seems just to us. However they were anti-establishment and they were dealt with accordingly. They were not persecuted merely for being Christain, they were persecuted because they were inciting sedition. Particularly the Jews who refused to Render unto Ceaser.

For the most part Christians didn't want to pay taxes or use the propor honorarium to address the Emperor.
Though they had no problems with the tyranny of flush toilets, the daily bath, the rule of law, private property, banking and mortgages, free bread, and other benefits.
